    Background: Itaconic acid , a Kreb cycle-derived immune metabolite, is synthesized by myeloid cells in response to danger signals to control inflammasome activation, type I interferon (IFN) responses, and oxidative stress


    Itaconic acid Itaconic acid controls inflammasome activation, type I interferon (IFN) response and oxidative stress in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

    Methods: Female New Zealand Black/New Zealand White F1 lupus-susceptible mice were administered 4-octylitaconic acid (4-OI) or vehicle for 4 weeks after clinical onset (30 weeks of age) (10 mice/grou.


    4-Octylitaconic acid (4-OI) 4-Octylitaconic acid (4-OI) excipient peak disease activity

    Results: Proteinuria, renal immune complex deposition, renal severity and inflammation scores, and anti-RNP autoantibodies were significantly reduced


    Significant reduction in splenomegaly reduction in activation markers reduction + inhibition of JAK1 activation

    Gene expression analysis of splenocytes showed that compared with the vehicle group, type I interferon and pro-inflammatory cytokine genes were significantly decreased and Treg-related markers were increased


    Type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokine genes significantly decreased Treg-related markers and increased 4-OI treatment in vitro reduced pro-inflammatory and B cell responses

    Conclusions: These results support targeting immunometabolism as a potentially viable approach for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, with 4-OIs playing a beneficial role in alleviating immune dysregulation and organ damage in lupus


    4-OI plays a beneficial role in alleviating immune dysregulation and organ damage in lupus 4-OI plays a beneficial role in alleviating immune dysregulation and organ damage in lupus
